Audiophile headphones

Audiophile headphones are a cut above your everyday headphones and earbuds. Audiophile headphones are designed from the ground-up for greater detail and resolution and let you hear songs as the artist intended them to be heard.

Underpowered headphones can sound thin and lifeless. To get the best sound and the most enjoyment from a pair of audiophile headphones, you’ll need a dedicated headphone amplifier to drive them

Open-back headphones tend to have a wider, airier soundstage that gives music a “live performance”-like feel. Closed-back headphones may not have as wide a soundstage, but typically do have a more authoritative bass response. 

Open-back headphones leak sound and aren't ideal for public places. Closed-back headphones are perfect for listening outside of your home, so long as you don't mind cutting back on the width of the soundstage.
